Celebrities who were not raised by their parents

Celebrities who were not raised by their parentsToday, the 79-year-old legend praises her grandmother not only for being her rock, but for inspiring her entire career. Burnett went to live with Nanny in Hollywood during the late 1930s. Together, the pair saw up to eight movies a week, and a young Carol would hone her skills by reenacting the films. She translated that talent on to stage and screen, and even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005. Of Nanny’s role in her upbringing, Burnett simply says, “I knew I could count on her, and I knew she loved me.”
